A six-pack of Thursday Dolphins notes:
• It’s remarkable that the Dolphins are 3-2 considering they’ve scored a league-low 61 points, or 12.2 per game.
It’s also remarkable considering how few big plays they’ve generated.
Through five games, the Dolphins’ longest rush is 20 yards (by Jay Ajayi). Conversely, their opponent’s longest rush is 44 yards.
More galling: Their longest passing play is 31 yards, by DeVante Parker. The opponents’ is 69 yards.
Their longest punt return is 14 yards, their longest kickoff return 34 yards.
The Dolphins know this must change.
“We do everything the hard way for some reason,” offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen said, noting more big plays are needed.
